Threatened Strike OF Box-Makers.

their intention of inaugurating general strike
on Monday. II carried into effect. fully 800
mon will quit work in the twenty moro box
factories. In the trouble is not compro-

The box manufacturers have been for years at
the mercy of their employees. They recen .ly
met and organized an association for the pur
pose of mutual protection against the exactions
of the Box-makers' Union. The latter includes
nearly all the box makers in the city, and has
not been at all backward in asserting its power.
When strike has failed they resorted to the
boycott. and in one case were successful in
rying their point with that weapon. The present
difficulty arose over a demand by the union for
revised scale of wages and a Saturday half
holiday. The manufacturers offered to consider
the first demand. but positively refused to shut
down their shops Saturday noon. The men
in the various shops have been instructed to
make final demand Monday or Tuesday

THE PoPE'S JUBILEE.

What Is Expected To Be Accomplished in
Restoring the yatican's Temporal Power.
LONDON. Sept. 3.-The jubilee of Pope Leo
XIII, for the celebration of which most extern
sive preparations being made. will undoubt-
edly have a great effect upon the immediate
future of the Catholic Church in Europe and the
status of the Vatican in it's relations with the
various European governments
In perfecting the arrangements necessary to a
proper display of magnifcence on the occasion,
mono of tho possibilities of church aggrandize-
ment have been overlooked, and the represent
atives of the different sovereigns who will be
present TO assist in the rejoicings the Popes
attainment of his fftieth year of priesthood
will scarcely be permitted to take their depart
after the celebration without having been
sounded to their full depth by astute Vatican
diplomates in search of something indicating
their personal opinions, well the views of
the rulers they represent, upon the question of
the restoration of temporal power to the head of
the church.
Already the suggestion of ceding back to the
oh urch portion of the domain it has lost has
made surprisingly deep impression upon the
minds of some OF the most patriotic of italian
statesmen, but the Vatican's reliance for the
success of Its plans is not wholly or even in
great part placed upon the slow process of win
ming over lthlla0 pOllLlclAnS through HoHo dGi-
tation The question of restoring Diplomatic
relations between England aud the Holy See,
revived at the time of the Queens jubilee, has
apparently been allowed to drop out of sight,
but really i. has not for moment been lost
sight of, nor have the resources of the Vatican
for keeping it within the bounds of considera-
ton been to any considerable extent drawn
upon, that the likelihood of its abandonment
Of the idea is very remote.
This question will be in various ways paraded
before the English representatives during the
pontifical festivities and the representatives Of
the French republic will also be treated to a
similar exhibition. in the form of insidious pre-
sensations of advantageous results in prospec-
tive. growing out of closer and more cordial
lations between France and the Holy See.
Aside from the undoubted fact that the jubilee
will be made the most of by the Pope and his
eminently able lieutenants to pave the way TO
outside influence in favor of re establishing the
knely character of the Pontiff that later
be brought against Italy, the celebration will be
of the grandest affairs that Europe has ever
witnessed, and its 1nagnificence will doubtless
impress many persons who would be invulner-
able to verbal argument or persuasion. Nobody
knows the value of regal and at the same time
opportune display better than the Pope does,
and he may be depended upon TO dazzle his
royal and semi-royal visitors into the belief
that royalty is belitting it's greatness by ex-
Guiding Leo XIII from among the monarchs of
